Indeed, Ryan said he would devote his energy to ensuring Clinton doesn’t get a “blank check” as president with a Democratic-controlled Congress, according to people on his private conference call with GOP House members. While the Wisconsin Republican did not formally rescind his own tepid endorsement of Trump, he told lawmakers they were free to do just that and fight for their own re-election.

Our very weak and ineffective leader, Paul Ryan, had a bad conference call where his members went wild at his disloyalty.

While recent polls showed Hillary Clinton with a fairly commanding lead even before the entire nation saw footage of Trump bragging about sexual assault, it’s possible internal polls show even bigger trouble for the GOP.

If Clinton actually wins by more than 7 or 8 percent as recent polling indicates, control of the House of Representatives very well could be in play. If Ryan is as concerned about his future as Speaker as he appears to be, that’s probably more of a reflection of internal polling than public media polls.

It’s up to everyone reading this to get out and vote. Take a friend or family member with you.

Douche would have been a better title for Ryan.

Paul Ryan is the type of enabler who was once put on trial in Nuremberg.

David Greenberg

Already voted.
Ryan is even a worse film flam artist than Trump.somehow he has deceived people into thinking he is a policy wonk with great intellectual capacities. He is totally full of shit. His proposals will screw the middle class, the poor and the elderly while enriching the 1% and bankrupting the country. Most of you here are smart enough to know this, but if you are further interested just google Ryan’s name and that of Paul Krugman. Krugman completely exposes Ryan for the fraud he is.
By the way, Ryan’s selflessness re the house is what he thinks will help him to the GOP nomination in 2020.

Upvoted you for voting! 🙂

Paul Krugman once said of Newt Gingrich that he is “a stupid man’s idea of what a smart person sounds like.” That would apply to Ryan as well.

Ken Kohl

JM, yes indeed, Get out and vote to make this happen. Plenty of time to “gloat” after Election Day.

I hope it is a blood bath for Republicans on election day. And, if it is, I hope Democrats don’t squander the opportunity.

“I hope it is a blood bath for Republicans on election day.”

I do, too. I’m with Samantha Bee. This shouldn’t just be Clinton getting enough electoral votes; it should be an utter 50-state landslide. A full throated declaration to the anti-American idiots that have supported Trump and the GOP that their prejudice, childishness and attempts to destroy this country simply will not be tolerated.

“And, if it is, I hope Democrats don’t squander the opportunity.”

I see, alas, absolutely no reason to believe the Democrats will take advantage of their advantage at all. The Republicans will not change their ways one iota and will continue to obstruct and work their damnedest to destroy the country. And the Democrats will likewise remain unchanged and continue to not call them out on it.
